Mite

Mites, along with ticks, are small arthropods belonging to the subclass Acari (also known as Acarina) and the class Arachnida. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of ticks and mites is called acarology. In soil ecosystems, mites are favored by high organic matter content and by moist conditions, wherein they actively engage in the fragmentation and mixing of organic matter.

Diversity and ecology

Mites are among the most diverse and successful of all the invertebrate groups. They have exploited an incredible array of habitats, and because of their small size (most are microscopic), go largely unnoticed. Many live freely in the soil or water, but there are also a large number of species that live as parasites on plants, animals, and some that feed on mold. It is estimated that 48,200 species of mites have been described.

Mites occupy a wide range of ecological niches. For example, Oribatid mites are important decomposers and occur in many habitats. They eat a wide variety of material including living and dead plant and fungal material, lichens and carrion; some are even predatory, though no species of Oribatida mite are parasites.

Mite (Dungeons & Dragons)

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the mite is a type of creature.

Publication history

The mite first appeared in White Dwarf #6 (April 1978). The mite appeared in the original first edition Fiend Folio (1981).

The mite appeared in second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons for the Greyhawk setting in the Monstrous Compendium Greyhawk Appendix (1990). The mite appeared under the "gremlin" heading in the Monstrous Manual (1993).

Description

A mite is a tiny, mischievous, wingless humanoid that waylays dungeons adventurers for fun and profit. Mites are small and quick, scurrying to and fro through their interconnecting tunnels. They use traps to catch lone travelers, who they swarm over and pummel with weighted clubs to stun them and torment them for days until the mites get bored.

Imported Society

by: M.O.D.

They came from the other side
In bunches at a time
Crowding up the neighborhood
To raise the rates of crime
Some of them got money
Most of them got shit
All they do is come here
To take from our pockets
Import, import, imported society
Import, import, imported society

So go home now
Don't come back
Take your goat
Get on your boat
